Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the appearance of the host building and its surroundings
  • The effect of the development on the residential amenities of neighbours (whether unacceptable harm would be caused by overbearing appearance or overshadowing or intrusion on privacy)

What decided it

The scheme would not cause unacceptable harm to the character or appearance of the host building and its surroundings or to the residential amenities of neighbours, assessed as a whole in the context of the urban location and previous approvals.

The benefits of providing useful additional accommodation at the site were balanced against the marked effect on the building's appearance and impact on neighbours' outlook and shadowing, with the balance tipping in favour of permission given the urban setting and previous approvals.
